A bus driver whips out a prayer book and a taxi driver pounds a steering wheel, cursing God. In the Gaza Strip, an angry Palestinian truck driver hurls crates on the ground from his load of rotting tomatoes after learning he cannot get through an Israeli roadblock. Fear, anger and teeth-grinding frustration characterize the mood in Israel and Palestinian-controlled areas in the aftermath of suicide bombings. The determined rhetoric at an anti-terrorism summit in Egypt isn't likely to change that "I hope those leaders won't just sit there and smile for the television of their homes in Jerusalem, after many had spent days inside, the only way they knew to deal with the randomness of the attacks.

"Business has been absolutely dead since the attacks," said Robert Vasl, who owns the Off-The-Square restaurant in central Jerusalem. "Absolutely no chance the summit will change that" Vasl, contemplating a cluster of empty tables, said he also missed his Palestinian employees, prevented by the closure from coming to work. "Stopping them from coming isn't going to prevent terror attacks." Vardit Ben-Dor, glad to be out shopping, said she hoped the summit would force Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to contain the terror.

Palestinian doctors blamed the deaths of two infants and an adult this week on delays at army roadblocks.

The blockade, imposed Feb. 25 in an effort to keep out suicide bombers, bars 2 million Palestinians from entering Israel. Since last week, troops also have barricaded West Bank Palestinians inside their towns and villages. But Israeli officials said that siege may be lifted by the JERUSALEM (AP) For the first time since Palestinian lands were sealed 2 weeks ago, a convoy of food trucks passed into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday but Palestinian trucks loaded with rotting produce were not allowed to cross into Israel.

Islamic militants of the Hamas group have claimed responsibility for the four bombings, which killed 62 people in nine days. i Anger mounted in the West Bank Speaking at an international anti-terror summit in Egypt, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat complained the blockade is hurting his people "to the extent of famine." He said the closure constituted collective punishment and was creating anger that could lead to new violence. Arafat's Palestinian authority may be unable to pay its employees salaries this month because of the closure, Israel radio reported.
